Messenger 6.2 & Audio

[Pamela]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger (More info?)

This post is in regards to my earlier post asking for advice on how to get
audio working under the following configuration:
Windows XP SP2
Intel PC Camera
Linksys router
Norton AntiVirus and Internet Security 2004
Cable modem

Based on Stephen's recommendation (thanks Stephen!), I enabled UPnP in my
router setup. I was able to get both audio and video working with another
computer that is running Win98 (although the order of the invitations seemed
to make a difference). However, even after turning off my Norton firewall,
I am still unable to converse with another user running XP.

Any other suggestions out there? I would greatly appreciate the advice!

Thanks!
Pamela

This other user who is running XP... have they had a successful audio
connection with somebody else? I tend to think since you did OK with
somebody using win98 that the problem may now be with the other XP
user unless they have already demonstrated limited success. I forget
if I mentioned you should uninstall QoS located in network connections.

Hi Stephen,

I think the other user running XP has not been able to get audio working
with their buddies. We will try to tweak their settings to see if that
works.

Also, I will uninstall QoS based on your recommendation. Just out of
curiosity, what does QoS do?

Thanks for all your help!
Pamela
